    Abstract:

    In order to analyze the improvement effects of rubber particles on low temperature performance of epoxy asphalt mixture, the low temperature performance of the epoxy asphalt mixture with different rubber particles volume content was studied choosing the rubber particles with appropriate shape feature and hardness, based on the flexural strength, flexural strain, flexural stiffness modulus, temperature of brittle point and strain energy density. The moisture susceptibility and high temperature performance of epoxy asphalt mixture with different rubber particles volume content were then validated by laboratory tests. The results show that the less the flat and elongated particle contents of rubber particles are, the greater the Shore A hardness of rubber particles is, the better the compaction effect and raveling resistance of rubber particles epoxy asphalt mixture are. The influence of rubber particles on flexural strength, moisture susceptibility and high temperature performance of epoxy asphalt mixture is not significant. However, the rubber particles with appropriate content can significantly increase the low temperature deformability of epoxy asphalt mixture, which can reduce the temperature of brittle point for epoxy asphalt mixture, and improve the low temperature performance of epoxy asphalt mixture. Compared with the epoxy asphalt mixture without rubber particles, the strain energy density of the epoxy asphalt mixture with rubber particles volume content of 5% is increased to 108.0 % at -15 ℃.
